Dr Snyder begins his discussion with the Ophtec and Morcher diaphragm hard iris prosthesis and shows newer Morcher colored ones. Next he shows the Morcher Aniridia rings that have somewhat brittle fins and suggests staining the lens capsule after placed to check position.

Morcher sector implants

Humanoptics silicone diaphragm implant that trephinate to correct size. They are rolled and inserted into position in the eye. Stain underside of ant capsule with tryptan blue before injected the humanotpics iris. Likes using the Grieshaber 25G maxigrip Intraocular forceps

Human optics matching color

Human optics folded for insertion

Discussion followed:

Q: best way to free up lens to rotate

A: 25g short needle, bend tip needle so bevel down, slide under ant capsule edge with OVD and sweep/inject to free to equator; can do even ten years later

I started this site in 2009 to write about Glaucoma, Health IT (EMR, EHR), Technology and to host my podcast series "Talking About Glaucoma." There is a shortcut to this blog to make it easier to find http://iguy.tv/blog.

I am a glaucoma sub-specialized Ophthalmologist and have a full time clinical practice at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic of the Geisel School of Medicine in Hanover, NH. I have a longtime interest in the use of technology to help in medical care as well as in Education. In addition, I was a very early adopter and developer of Electronic Medical Record systems who has lectured internationally on the topic of making the transition to EMRs in daily practice.
